Lionel Messi - v7

[El Gato]

Just keep in mind that their main man KdB will have to adapt his playstyle around Messi and their second star player Aguero is 32 years old and just came of a big knee injury. Then you have a ton of positions where they lack quality , notably their LB , GK , CB and CDM.
One more thing to add is their pathetic CL exits in which they got bounced in the QF 4 times while being the favourites in all 4 of those ties.

I'm not sure if Messi would ever play anything, but a classic striker at City.

The ballad of Don Barto and Don Jorge continues.

So many cliffhangers and plot twists

Great! We are losing more and more time, season is behind corner and we basically have half of the squad right now! Just fucking sit and negotiate so we can bring some new players before the season kicks in! What the hell is his plan? To keep avoiding him until the season starts!?

This is exactly what this fuckers will do, waste time. Than they ll put themselves in to situation of weakness and will have to overpay once again.

Negotiate with City?

Virtually impossible unless Messi agrees he is under contract otherwise City are contradicting his claim and would damage any argument that goes to court.

Seems like a standoff.... Barca wont negotiate at all until Messi/City agree under contract while Messi will not agree to that as thinks club will then have full power to make him stay.

Unless Messi agrees he is under contract this is going down road of him staying until next summer or to court.

Barca continue to prove they are the worst run franchise in all of professional sports, well done

Multiple sources confirm that Jorge Messi had a long meeting with the lawyers at the Messi Foundation.

Barca isn't a franchise.

And what can they do right now, just let Messi go for free, even if they still own his rights?

Multiple sources confirm that Jorge Messi had a long meeting with the lawyers at the Messi Foundation. Meeting could take place between this afternoon and tomorrow.

@Tim_Vickery:

"Barcelona are looking increasingly desperate - it doesn't seem legally like they have a leg to stand on with the last year contract clause, given that the season ended much, much later."

Let Manchester City check. 700 million check price.

I think we should even let him go for free and some City players. We still save nearly 100m on his gross yearly wage.

I don't see a single solid upside for the club by keeping him "prisoner" for 9 months while paying him his astronomical wage to half ass it waiting to leave for free.

Jorge Messi just finished dining with MEssi's brother and is leaving the restuarant.

Could be on his way to meet with Barto.

I will keep you all updated the ongoings here in Catalunya.

[Sterlingfan2000]

Side Note: Messi foundation wrote the contract for Messi with Barcelona. Surely they know if hes free or not?
